Wonderful vineyard in Castellinaldo facing south/south-east, it lies on clayey soils, with one of the highest calcareous traces in the Roero. This vineyard produces a generous and powerful, soft Barbera, with intense colours and distinct fruity aromas. Altitude 320/350 metres
Historical cru in the municipality of Barbaresco, facing the south-east. Part of a small natural amphitheatre, it enjoys a special microclimate, thanks to the fresh air currents from the Tanaro valley. It is a morning sorì, a sunny place in the morning, from which come wines with fresh fruit aromas, decidedly round and harmonious. Altitude 250/280 metres.
The mention refers to the village of the same name in the municipality of Monforte and to vineyards increasingly important for the quality of the wines produced. The white, tuffaceous soil has always been home to Nebbiolo, which produces exceptional grapes here. The Barolo produced here is characterised by a very personal style, capable of reconciling power and balance: the tannic texture, of rare density and breath, evolves over time with great austerity and an abundance of aromas. Altitude 450/480 metres.
The area takes its name from the Ravera family, originally from this area in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba. It represents one of the most interesting ridges in terms of landscape, with amazing observation points. As the southernmost in the Barolo zone, this ridge faces the highest hills of Roddino, foreshadowing the Alta Langa and its influence on the winds. The hillside vineyard is characterised by a steep slope, with an inlet that offers a protected microclimate particularly suited to the vines. The wines obtained are expressive, mineral and elegant. Altitude 400/420 metres.
Soils rich in sand and extreme slopes. The best Nebbiolo grapes of the denomination have always been grown here. The soil is typical of the central zone of the Roero production area, of Pliocene origin, characterised by loam, limestone and clay. The wine produced here is structured, complex, austere, but always elegant and fine. Altitude 260/300 metres
When referring to the eastern side of Monforte, the first name that comes to mind is Ginestra, a tongue of land as majestic as elegant, whose wines have shaped Barolo history. It can be considered a historical cru of the appellation, since already mentioned in the late 19th century by Fantini as an area of Monforte capable of producing a Barolo wine of “superior excellence”. Altitude 340/370 metres.
The first reports of Arneis grapes in the Roero date back to 1478, and refer to this Cru, in the municipality of Canale. The sandy soil, the southern exposure at the top of the ridge, and the cool breeze blowing through the valley between the Canale concentric area and the charming hamlet of Madonna di Loreto, give this vineyard an undeniable charm and the possibility of producing fruity, elegant and enduring wines. Altitude 270/300 metres
